The applicant must pay the respondent's costs of the appeal (including the respondent's notice) to be taxed if not agreed, with a certificate for two counsel, because the appeal was dismissed on grounds substantially similar to the judge below (costs follow event) and the public interest litigation principle was inapplicable as the proceedings were not properly brought and were not reasonably arguable.
